nearly becalmed, the leaders close together. Priscilla alone carried 

 a big'baloon jibtopsail and what wind there was she caught, drawing 

 iuto first place on the heat to the lightship. 



All came for it well together, but, nipping as close as possible, Pris- 

 cilla weathered it on starboard tack and was off down bill, wind and 

 tide helping her, while Puritan and Atlantic had to make another 

 tack under "the mark before rounding. Atlantic turned second, but 

 dropped her ballooner overboard in setting it. Puritan followed, 

 while after her came the cutter Clara, fourth of the fleet. The times 

 were: 



Priscilla. 2 25 26 Grayling 3 42 45 



Atlantic 2 23 26 Gracie 2 50 33 



Puritan 2 30 07 Montauk 2 55 06 



Clara 2 37 30 Cinderella 3 00 00 



No sooner were they off for home than Atlantic and Puritan began 

 a luffing match, the latter to windward, making two charges for At- 

 lantic's weather, while Priscilla was leaving both. The two stern 

 chasers dropped spinnaker booms in readiness, while Atlantic earned 

 a little; but soon the white one came upon her weather again, this 

 time taking the lead- of her and holding it to the close. After she 

 passed her spinnaker went up. Priscilla following at once, staying 

 hers well forward, while Atlantic's was not set for seven or eight 

 minutes after. 



Up the Bay was a tedious journey, little wind and no excitement 

 over such a finish. Priscilla continued to gain until within a half 

 mile of buoy 15, the breeze dropped, and by the time she was a quar- 

 ter of a mile from the finish she lay motionless, save for the flood 

 tide. The others were still coming, holding a light breeze and threat 

 ening to pass her, but she drifted on. finishing at 5:57. When they 

 reached the calm streak they also stopped, sails dropped idly and 

 some were taken in, the two boats drifting up almost sideways. Pur- 

 itan had led the sailing, but Atlantic proved the best drifter, and 

 finally crossed the line in an oblique position, while her less fortunate 

 rival, without steerage way drifted just outside the markboat and 

 did not finish. 



The others came very slowly up to Bay Ridge, the finish being 

 devoid of any excitement. Gracie managed to overtake Thetis and 

 led her in, but lost on time allowance. The times were:

The race was far from satisfactory and by no means settles the 

 question of the best boat. Atlantic did well in the early part, in mak- 

 ing up the lost ground at the start, but from the Lightship in she was 

 fairly outsailed by Priscilla and Puritan, the latter holding first 

 until the wind left them above the line. Thetis, sailed by Captain 

 Crocker, astonished her friends, and the outsiders as well, by the 

 way she went off over the first half of the course and finally won a 

 prize for Boston by beating Gracie. Clara added another to her string 

 of victories, beating her class and everything else except Gracie and 

 Thetis. Cinderella, her special rival, was 15 minutes astern, while 

 the old sloops, Thistle and Roamer, were less than an hour behind 

 her. To day, most of them meet again in the New York Y. C. re- 

 gatta, the entries being as follows, measurement given being for time
